Well almost, after I go grocery shopping and do a bit of cleaning and research I believe I’ll be ready for LD18.  I’m excited as this is my second compo and I look forward to seeing all your games as well as making one of my own!

My inventory:

• Unity
• MonoDevelop
• Audacity
• Pixelmator
• Blender
• SFXR
• MilkyTracker or Musagi

Here is my entry for LD17:

I’m going to be using Ubuntu Lucid as my primary development platform, coding C++ with SDL in emacs, and using make to handle builds. For graphics I’ll be using gimp and possibly my crappy iPhone camera. For sound and music, I’ve got some instruments lying around that I’ll pipe straight into audacity, though I do have a copy of adobe audition that I may use for mixing depending on how temperamental audacity is feeling. And of course, sfxr. I may use garage band to record from my midi drum kit if the built-in synths don’t sound good enough.

Pictures of my work environment, including my mac and the laptop I’ll be testing windows builds on:

This will be my first regular LD.  I did okay in the last mini, so I figure I’ll give it a shot.  I have some plans during the event so I will have to keep my aim low on this one.

Tools:
Ubuntu 8.10
D, SDL, make
Gimp, Inkscape
sound??? ( doubt I will have the time )

Codexus, Docky, and Sophie Houlden are cool and I want to be just like them.

…I originally typed that to mock myself for copying them, but then I realized it is also actually the truth

An visual history of my Ludum Dare adventures thus far:

I’m also curious what you guys think about themes like “time limit” getting voted so far down. I think working within boundaries helps people be creative and a theme like “time limit,” I think, forces designers to be creative and allows a lot of flexibility. What do you guys think?

Also: I tried to complete on time for LD7 and LD17 but failed both times. Let’s hope the third time is the charm!

I’m planning to do the normal LD. However, I’ll be away for most of Saturday (again, playing in an orchestra), maybe on Sunday evening I’ll decide to go for the jam instead.

Anyway, I’ll probably make a Flash game, here is what I’m planning to use:

• Code: FlashDevelop and either Haxe/SWFMill with my own base code, or Flex with Flixel.
• Graphics: Tile Studio, PhotoImpact, InkScape
• Music: MilkyTracker, NoteWorthy Composer
• Sounds: Nero Wave Editor, Audacity
• Timelapse: ETL.exe and VirtualDub

I’ll take my sound recorder along on Saturday so I can start recording sound samples (lots of instruments there). And I recently bought a smartphone, so I’ll be able to follow how things are going when I’m away, and perhaps post.

Inspired by other people doing it, here’s a little montage of my 8 games (and 8 years!) of LD48…   Shame I missed so many along the way… was just a mix of work/crunch, a few years of  a WoW habit, and a couple of themes I didn’t like…

lol?

Tags: can you read tags or not?

Hopefully I can scrap together something for LD18.

I want to use C++, SDL, GL, etc – but if theme is something that I can’t achieve quickly, I’ll probably switch to GM to get it done faster.

Tools:
gimp
audacity
fl studio/anvil
paint

I will be travelling this weekend, up the east coast from Maryland to Maine, and I will be coding the game in transit. My time worked will be sparse, and I don’t expect to make a large game. I do expect that I will have audio in my upcoming jam game, and possibly even netcode!

Using: LOVE Engine

IDE: Notepad + +

Really looking forward to Ludum Dare this weekend! Haven’t a clue what I’m going to make yet, or what I’ll end up using to make it.  I only really have one goal, this time:  I wanna do something somewhat technically challenging, for once. I’m thinking possibly some procedurally generated content, if I can shoehorn it into the theme somehow.

I’ll be taking part at the Cambridge meetup, so it should be good fun even it doesn’t work out

Finally, because everyone else was doing one: Here are my previous LD entries, including some games that I ended up developing after the original deadline:

Like some of you, I’m a newcomer too.

Hope to finish something on time, because my concentration muscle isn’t in a good shape this days. Thats why I’m almost ready… I have outstanding work to get done to . I’ll find a way to finish it/throw it away and get a good time.

This is what I may use (very standard stuff I guess):

• Pencil and paper!
• FlashDevelop and Flixel OR Java Processing (deprecated)
• sfxr and audacity (and KorgDS-10 maybe)
• paint.net with a set of superpowerfull plugins

If theme and designs claims it, my secret weapon will be ZDoom with DoomBuilder2 and XWE (not so secret now). To accomplish compo rules, I must use the FreeDoom base iwad (BSD license).

Have fun!!

Hello.

I’ll be participating in Ludum Dare 18, and as per the rules, my probable toolset is:

• FlashDevelop
• HaXe
• SFXRHX
• Polygonal
• CasaLibHX
• Sothink SWF Decompiler
• TimeSnapper

Hi, this is my first LD post and my first LD compo. Nice to meet you. I don’t expect it to go very well, because in all actuality I might have about 12 hours to work on the game, if I’m lucky. A demanding and non-sleeping 2 year old will do that to you. But nevertheless, I’m going to give it a shot.

My intended toolset is JavaScript/HTML5 (Canvas), Photoshop, and TextMate. I really love JavaScript (in fact, just finished up a JS1K demo last weekend: http://js1k.com/demo/285), and in addition to being a cool language, it’s well suited for pumping stuff out super fast.

See you at the finish line!

Huh. I've been at this for longer than I realized...

Note to self: enter more compos.

–Game Maker 8 Pro (Coding)
–PxTone (Music)
-My guitar (Also Music)
–sfxr (SoundFx)

If you have any tips, i would love to hear them.

lol

Here are my previous attempts at Ludum Dare, most of them never finished:

BUGS:

1. Tiny creatures that live in ground
2. Problems with computers
3. Disease of body
4. Pants12 bugs

Okay, inspired by the 2hr warm up game idea from IRC, I made a 2hr game based on the best (but sadly downvoted into oblivion) theme “Isaiah Mustafa – The man your game could smell like”.

It was made in a little over 2 hours since I was a bit distracted and getting it all to package up took some finagling (good test of my pipeline though), but here it is:

Windows (Linux may come later)

The goal is very simple (and not terribly fun); avoid the green “Double Rainbow Body Wash” boxes, and collect the red Old Spice ones to reach 100%.
